I love your way of deciding to talk about the animals in your life and dancing instead of , well, the opposite. Not that I wouldn't read your post or sympathize and pray for you otherwise, but sometimes for our own sanity and well-being we just need to be happy & appreciative of the good things. Problems, trials, and tribulations are with us til death, but no one can take away our thankfulness, our love for life, our joy in the simple daily blessings, except our self.

There comes a time in your life when you walk away from all of the drama and the people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh. Forget the bad and focus on the good. Love the people who treat you right and pray for those who don’t. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is part of life, getting back up is living.
